they got a big sandwich of nothing. they won't be there in the same numbers at all. i have this theory that the night obama won the election in 2008 was the night he appeared with rick warren who put his arms around him and said i don't agree with everything he says but he is all right. if you look at the numbers in 2008 what changed was the republicans stayed home because they didn't think he was the antichrist. now they think he is the antichrist again so they will turn out and it is not clear that obama's base will turn out and will be a much tougher election which is why all the more crazy people like ralph nader and alexander cockburn are advocating for somebody to challenge him as an independent or with the democratic party. that is how incumbents lose. they lose because they are challenged from within. that is how jimmy carter was challenged by ted kennedy and lyndon johnson was challenged and beaten. the easiest way to lose an incumbent president the is to fight 2001. even if i disagree with obama and thought he was terrible i would be against challenging him

>> um, dodd-frank, in my view, really missed, whiffed the big one which is too big to fail, did nothing about cutting down these institutions to a manageable size, to a size that does not imperil the taxpayer. that is the key failing in dodd-frank. another failing, i think, is that it has left hundreds of rules to be made by regulators, and so, therefore, providing a second manipulation possibility for the industry. so they got their first chance when they were talking about the legislation, writing the legislation, they got their first chance to manipulate. now they can manipulate the regulators, two bites of the apple. >> is it any better than nothing? >> i think there are parts of it that are fine, that are good. but i think that a 3,000-page law, okay? glass-steagall was 32 pages. 3,000 pages is, you know, it's way overdone and not, um, not effective on the crucial issue of too big to fail. >> yeah. not to, not to take much longer on that, i think i agree with gretchen. you know, why couldn't you have just added one paragraph that, essentially, said any institution that has to rely

now, i get a big kick out of this "time" magazine, "the new new deal." using the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, he was going to transform the united states into a european-style social democracy. businesses and the individuals who start them would no longer be free entities with property rights. they would be arms of the state that exist for the purpose of funding ever-expanding welfare programs. taxation would no longer be a necessary evil with citizens and businesses recognizing a legal duty to pay what was owed but understanding that they were ceding their property rights to the government to provide for certain public goods. instead, businesses and tax-paying citizens would be obligated to share their wealth with the state. and because the progressives running the administration do not believe in natural rights to liberty and property because they think everything -- everything a family or business makes is, in fact, due only to the largeess of the state, paying taxes is no longer something that somebody done but something people should want to d
